Tasting Notes
This fortified classic from Rutherglen shows all the richness and warmth of the style, with aromas of toffee, raisins, fig and caramel lifted by hints of orange peel and roasted nuts. The palate is luscious and mouth-coating, layered with treacle, honeycomb and dried fruit, yet balanced by a gentle freshness that keeps it from heaviness. The finish is long, sweet and nutty, leaving a lasting impression of complexity and indulgence. - Chris L
